We aren't the stay at home type at JENSEN Marine and as a boater, neither are you.

So, why JENSEN Marine?Because we are different in a forward-thinking kind of way.JENSEN Marine products are specifically designed and tested to withstand unique challenges of the marine world, such as moisture, salt air, humidity, UV exposure, and extreme temperatures. Our hand-on Research and Development team expertly builds each product from the ground up and incorporates the latest technologies into all designs. Before any product is presented to our customers, we perform stringent validation tests to ensure every unit is ready for the harsh marine environment. Developed with exclusive marine features, you are assured year of high quality, dependable entertainment with JENSEN Marine.

Some of the exclusive engineering tests that we perform on our products include the following:

High/Low Operating Temperature

Long-Duration product exposure to operational temperature extremes and rapid temperature cycles that are experienced in outdoor mobile applications. In addition we test for High humidity introduced at high-temp to test effectiveness of circuit corrosion protection (conformal coating).

High/Low Storage Temperature

Ensures your JENSEN products will perform even after prolonged periods of storage with no power in extreme hot or cold temperatures.

UV/Salt Fog Corrosive Exposure Chamber

Exterior components are subjected to accelerated UV exposure that equates to 5-7 years of actual outdoor exposure to assure you that your electronics will look great for many years. In addition, product and product components are subjected to dry/wet cycles of highly corrosive fog/mist to test for corrosion resistance and corrosion protection effectiveness.

RF Performance Testing

RF performance is central to the user experience for many of our products. The RF Performance test ensures that our products keep clean signals in and the bad signals out, so that users are always left with a steady signal without outside interference. We not only test for high level RF performance during product design, but we also take a random sampling from each production lot and test it to ensure performance consistency. A battery of over 80 performance tests are conducted to analyze and validate RF and audio performance.

Electrostatic Discharge

The last thing you need is for your radio to quit due to accidental static shock. That’s why our products go through the extensive Electrostatic Discharge Test on all exposed control areas as well as I/O connections so they can withstand the most severe static build up. Shocking, isn’t it?

Load Dump

Severe electrical environments are relatively common mobile applications. We understand these environments and what it takes to protect electronics that will be exposed to them. That’s why all of our products include specific and significant front-end circuit protection and filtering that is proven to withstand the toughest electrical environments. The Load Dump Tests puts destructive pulses (spikes) to simulate the sudden disconnection of the battery from the alternator while the alternator is generating current to load the battery. Such Load Dump pulses are high energy pulses with a high potential of destruction ensuring that our electronics are protected.

Reverse Polarity

The Reverse Polarity test uses a car battery to test durability of the product when the (+) and (–) cables are accidentally reversed.

Inductive Load Switching

Tests product well above and below the average waveform to ensure that it can withstand the extreme fluctuations.
